Lecture Notes

From time to time, I prepare notes on a topic I find interesting. Usually, these are based on talks or short tutorials I have given.

So far, you can find:

Lecture notes on Simulated Annealing (classical) and Quantum Annealing. The simulations here are done using a nice and popular Python package called qutip.

I also have started using manim for video animations (along with an LLM, it is very simple to use). Manim is the legendary Python library for math animations developed by Grant Sanderson, better known by his YouTube handle 3blue1brown. This simple animation explains the harmonic oscillator and shows how damping works (underdamped case only). You need a conda environment with manim. The video below needs some bug-fixing but gets the message across.
